MG4

The MG4 was first seen in the Art book as concept art. It was however confirmed when pictures of Create-A-Class weapon lists were leaked. It is widely speculated that this gun replaced the M249 from Call of Duty 4, as they are both very similar. It has the lowest damage out of all the LMGs (tied with the M240), but has the most accuracy and little recoil.

It is one of the least used LMG's in Multiplayer due to a longer reload time than other LMG's and it's low damage. It is, however, a very effective weapon, although ammo is used quickly as the MG4 has a very high rate of fire. Scavenger or Sleight of Hand are encouraged, along with Stopping Power to offset the lower damage. However, in HC, it can kill with one direct shot in the chest area. These combined factors (most accurate LMG, low recoil, high fire rate) can also make it very effective in objective modes as a kind of cross between LMG and sniper rifle - when used with the bling perk to attach a grip and long-range scope, the MG4 can lay down highly accurate covering fire from virtually across an entire map as squadmates advance.
